Albino Monkey Porter

This is a Robust Porter, with vanilla, oak, bourbon, honey and molasses...
A couple people were interested in this recipe, so here goes...this is the first recipe I've posted on HBT...
*Disclaimer* -- as of the time I posted this thread, the all grain version is untested. I have brewed the extract version multiple times and have the other ingredient details and process dialed in pretty well...

Notes
-----
Originally derived from Homebrew Adventures "Monkey on the Mainline" Robust English Porter Kit

Honey and Molasses should be added after initial primary fermentation slows.

Vanilla Beans quartered and scraped, soaked in shot of burbon before adding with dry hops and oak chips.

Burbon Oak Chips = American Oak Chips soaked in 10 year single barrel burbon -- dry well and add w/ dry hops & vanilla

I generally bulk age in the carboy after primary completes for at least 1, if not 2-3 weeks

** 12 oz mollasses = 1 pound **

Here is the AG version. I've highlighted the essential changes...basically, the DME is replaced with base malt, and I've upped the crystal malt to account for both the SRM and loss of unfermentables from the amber and dark DME:
